Thanks!You're more reasonable than many people posting here.
Right now I would not recommend Hasselblad at all, not because of their gear but because of the state of the company. Fuji would be the way to go if you wanted to try MF.As someone who already has Canon equipment, what do you recommend about Hasselblad?
Generally speaking, I shoot fashion and years ago most high-end fashion work was on medium format cameras. I tried a couple of times different rigs (Hassy and P1) and was hooked. Then I finally had enough money (and the 2nd hand prices lowered enough) that I pulled the trigger and bought a MF digital back and slowly added some lenses.
These are finnicky beasts. Mine has a 80mp 54x44mm CCD sensor which is capable of extraordinary detail and colors, but it has quite low DR and bad noise (I use it normally between ISO 35 and 100 - ISO 400 is for dire emergencies even if it gets to 1600... to be fair I haven't tried recent AI NR software on it), but that is not an issue for my type of shooting since I usually can control the light.
AF is terrible, and 1 frame per second is considered fast.
Also the camera is dumb. Not much of the aids and automations we're used to with cameras such as the R5. Which actually appeals to me since I like being in control of the camera. And, when all planets align, the images out of it have a quality that sings to me.
Well I still hope they will at least announce the fast 35 this side of the year, at the very least to put me out of my miseryI think if noise can be kept down and the lenses are able to retain good quality under higher resolutions, there's no reason why Canon won't offer something higher than 45mp. I don't see why they won't offer a fast 35 soon either. I think it'll happen, hopefully in the next year.
I would also be surprised if lenses such as the RF 50 and 85 1.2 and 135 1.8 wouldn't be able to exploit higher resolution sensors. All lenses actually would see some sort of resolution increase, but some will make the most of it and some less.
I am sure that sooner or later they will. But I am not holding my breath: big exotics have been traditionally on fairly long update cycles, although one could argue that for the 400 2.8 and 600 4 the clock has started when the EF mkIII were announced.As Neuro mentioned, there was some demand to have the 400 f/2.8 and 600 f/4. I interpreted Canon's statement to imply that there will be another design at some point.
